Administrative History
The statute authorizing military bounty land grants in the new Military Tract of Central New York was Chap. 44, Laws of 1789. The "Balloting Book" was published at Albany by Packard and Van Benthuysen in 1825. It was evidently published by the Secretary of State on his own authority, as no statute or resolution has been found directing the book to be printed. A name index to the "Balloting Book" was compiled by Mary F. Ferris and published in 1954 (copy in the New York State Library).
